McDonnell Douglas CF-188 (CF-18) Hornet IMP I: Canadian Fury

As a Canadian myself… +100 for this suggestion. It gives something for the UK aviation top tier that is at least different from the Phantoms and the (soon™) Typhoons.

But yea if the F-16AJ, Swedish trails, Swiss Hunter Canadian, ADATS can come in, in the name of filling holes then the Canadian CF-18 is a must for Britain.

They can be as Canada has enough. I know as I’ve been helping a mod here build an air tree to go with their ground tree.

the biggest problem with having Canada as a separate TT is that, whilst possible, it would include the removal of several TT vehicles from existing trees, plus there are far more Canadian vehicles in game than there was Swedish or Israeli vehicles before they were added, and all of theirs were either premium or event vehicles not TT

don’t get me wrong, I am not against any future Canadian tree, I feel that SA should have been used to form a commonwealth tree with SA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, but I doubt it will happen any time soon

It wouldn’t remove too many vehicles only the Skink and ADATs are tech tree and the Ram II is premium the rest are event and they don’t touch event vehicles. So not too much.

The thing is that the ADATS is the top SPAA for britain and there isnt another option to add; the Rapier tracked is 10.3 best, any of the Blowpipe equiped SAMs would likely be between the ZA-35 and Stormer, and the sky sabre is multi vehicle and would require a whole new mechanic just for a new SPAA for britain and japan.

Theres far easier nations to be added before canada like yugoslavia or a united korean tree, and gaijin has been open about using canadian vehicles as gap fillers before.

Warrior low profile hull is the same ADATS as on the Canadian one but with a warrior hull.
Gaijin, if you may, ADATS mounted on GKN Low Profile Warrior ...

was this actually tested though or was it just a mock up/ private venture?

I mean they also don’t move everything over or leave things in the old tree as C&P. Franch still has a Fisnish SPAA.

Yugoslavia would be nice and Korea would be another Israil style tree I’d rather nations that could start in WW2 first.

yeah, from what I think, if Canada is NOT added before they implement this it should go to Britain, however if it IS in the game then it should got there instead and Britain could potentially get an Australian F/A-18C instead.

if it was added to the US TT it would most likely be an event vehicle and I don’t think a lot of Canadians would be happy about their best Jet fighter being a one off vehicle, especially when the US has up to 7 hornet variations it could get with the B,D and F also potentially being event vehicles

AFAIK the turret was actually fitted to the chassis to show that it was indeed viable. I believe it was intended to compete against the Stormer HVM but the Stormer had interoperability so was chosen instead.
